"Eh?" Naeku muttered when she looked at the approaching, mind-controlled Aaron with surprise.
Erik, however, ignored him for now, and focused on his family. "Hello, my loves," he greeted his wives with a soft smile before kissing them one by one. "I'm glad you're all alright."
In response, Emma smiled softly, Emily snorted proudly, and Astrid grinned victoriously. "Of course, we are!" Astrid exclaimed while beating her chest in a huff. "Anyone who underestimates your wives will be in for a grim awakening!"
Naeku suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned her attention from Aaron back to Erik and his family. Apparently, this was the first time she realized their exact relationship, and also that this entire group existed of women.
Meanwhile, Erik chuckled in agreement to Astrid words while he turned to a still somewhat bloody Alice and crouched down to her height. "And you, too, little Alice," he smiled at her. "I hope you enjoyed yourself."
Turns out I forgot to upload last night, sorry about that!
Better late than never, though.
